Driven by the shared vision of Freya and Max, two passionate conservation biologists, Amakali Conservation is dedicated to protecting wilderness and wildlife and deliver high-impact conservation outcomes and support community-based projects.
Freya is from the Canary Islands and grew up between the mountains and the sea. She has always longed to visit new natural places around the world and quickly grasped the importance of education and local cooperation in successful conservation practices. Max is from Germany, but has focused on the African continent from a young age. Specialising in protected area management and large mammal monitoring programmes, he has seen first-hand the complex coordination of field operations and the active protection of rhinos and other threatened species.

The combination of our strong scientific backgrounds and professional experience from different perspectives in the conservation industry, including government, NGOs and the private sector, has prepared us to apply technical expertise and practical skills, including the use of equipment and technology, to solve complex challenges. Working with people from different regions, cultures and ages, our communication is clear and calm, guided by empathy and motivation while providing leadership and demonstrating analytical and critical thinking.
